Nusrat Jahan Questioned by ED in Kolkata Over Alleged Rajarhat Housing Fraud

Investigators said fresh leads in the Rajarhat flat case prompted the new summons.

Overview

  • Jahan appeared at the Enforcement Directorate’s Salt Lake office in Kolkata on Wednesday in the ongoing probe into an alleged housing scam.
  • Officials said new information gathered in recent months led the agency to call her in for questioning.
  • The case centers on 2014–15 payments for promised 1,000 sq ft flats near Rajarhat, with a BJP leader alleging more than 400 senior citizens paid about Rs 5.5 lakh each without receiving homes or refunds.
  • According to investigators, company records listed Jahan as a past director and she was questioned for nearly six hours in 2023, while she denies any role or link to the firm.
  • Some outlets reported ED interest in alleged ration smuggling to Bangladesh, though later coverage clarified Wednesday’s session concerned the real estate case.
